Apart from a powerful engine, the XUV300 will also likely receive a few cosmetic updates to set it apart from the rectangular turbo-petrol. On the outside, the updated XUV300 would come with a new gloss black grille with red accents, a blacked out central air intake on the front bumper and Mahindra’s new Twin Peaks logo.

The dashboard, for instance, is finished in black as opposed to the dual-tone and beige combination seen on the regular variant. The steering wheel also gets the new Mahindra logo with silver accents, while there is contrast red stitching for the upholstery and a new silver trim around the touchscreen.

Mahindra is likely to offer the new turbo-petrol engine on all existing trims of the XUV300 - W4, W6, W8 and W8 (O) along with the equipment list which is expected to be carried over unchanged.
